Originally written by the author when he was 5 years old, `No David` is essentially about a boy who is doing things that he really shouldn`t be doing, hence all the ``No`s`` that show up in the book. I have to admit that I didn`t particularly like the book. While the colors were fine, I found the overall illustrations to be not very `kid-friendly`- it might have something to do with David having all those sharp teeth. Nevertheless, many kids will identify with David as he explores the world around him just as they would. (  ) Ginac | Dec 5, 2009 |  Here comes trouble! David Shannon's messy little monster digs himself into a deep hole with his endless antics. Little David sails the high seas in the bathtub, builds Mr. Potato Head with his dinner, and takes batting practice in the living room. But when David’s actions catch up with him, his mother is there to lovingly console him. When you read this book to your children, they take on the parental role, repeatedly scolding David. Every time he makes a mess, they are able to shout, “No, David!” and then dissolve in giggles. David’s horseplay is relentless, but he is also extremely lovable. He is truly sorry when he breaks his mother’s vase, and he finds his ultimate happiness safely wrapped in her loving arms in the end. archerje | Dec 5, 2009 | This story is about a little boy who always hear, No David!

The pictures in this book are excellent. Grade for K-1. This shows students they will always not get what they want. (  ) awilkes | Nov 10, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
